The warning really says that the HTML5 Conformance Checker is experimental.

The HTML5 Candidate Recommendation, despite being widely regarded as a 
"standard", is in principle work in progress and should not be cited as 
other than work in progress, according to the statement in the document 
itself. But this is a different issue, not really addressed by the 
statement from the validator.

No, it does not. There is no official statement on what the validator 
really checks against. It has some known, and probably some unknown, 
deviations from the HTML5 CR.

Besides, many of the conformance (validity) requirements in HTML5 CR 
cannot possibly be checked against, with the current state of the art.
